An Appeal For Children
« 4, - {
THE WAR LEFT LARGE NUMBERS of people in Europe and in Asia
homeless and ,witHout means, of earning a living, The great social problem
arising from the plight of. these people has been to some extent solved,
with many thousands of displaced persons finding homes and becoming re-
established in this country, and in other lands not ravaged by war, There
are however, still many who have been less fortunate, and these include
millions of childten. who, a8 a result of the war, live under conditions of
privation and misery which it is difficult. for people in a country such as
ours to imagine.
U.N. Has Dealt
With Problem
Through ‘the International Children’s Emergency
Fund the United Nations has dealt with this prob-
lem, providing shelter and care for great numbers
of homeless destitute children.
This work. re-
quires a considerable amount of money, and from time to time funds have
run low, threatening the success of this great. humanitarian effort. Canada
is among the countries which have been giving financial support to the
undertaking,.and in proportion to the population these contributions have
compared favorably with those of other countries.
This year, the federal
government is giving $1,075,000 to the fund, which represents a consider-
able increase over last year’s contribution of $400,000.
se. 68
In addition to the amount given by the government,
appeals are made under the auspices of the United
Nations Appeal for Children, which is an organiza-
tion incorporated under Canadian charter.
Is Supported
This
appeal for donations from individual citizens receives the support of many
organizations in Canada, including the Canadian Federation of Agriculture,
the’ National Council of Women -and various service clubs, churches and
‘other bodies.
In all, some $2,000,000 was put into the fund last year by
Canada, but it has been pointed out that nearly $10,000,000 was spent here
in the same year by the Emergency Fund, for supplies with which to carry
on the work. That the children of today are the citizens of tomorrow is
a truism which is frequently heard,
The. millions of children in Europe
and in Asia whom the Children’s Emergency Fund seeks to help will, in a
few years, be adults whose attitudes and convictions are in a measure
being determined now.
On humanitarian grounds, and in the interests of
the future relations between the people of those lands and our own, Cana-
dians should not neglect the opportunity to support the Emergency Fund:
as long as that type of help is required.

All-Time High |
For Manitoba
WINNIPEG. —= aii Mecustactoring:
production La Manitoba will be
an all-time high thisyear. Nat-
ural resources minister f.
Diarmid has estimated t at by
wet end it will reach a gross
483,000,000, 7% cent.
above the 1948 sonido of .$450;-
000,000.- .
Industries employ 42,000 and esti-
mated: gross wage earnings in 1949
will be about $87,000,000.
Forty ‘new industries started. oper-
ations, most. of them comparatively
small but their output accounts for
part of the $33,000,000 increase over
last year in gross volume of produc-
tion, ~
Since rural electrification in Mani-
toba. got under way, many of these
industries established in small towns
where over-all cost of operation is
generally lower.
Another phase of the expansion
picture has been the unusual number
of British firms getting into the
western market. In the last 12
months, Mr. McDiarmid said nearly
100 have established agencies ‘and
more than 95 per cent. of them are
located in Winnipeg.
Mr. McDiarmid said developments
indicate British manufacturers real-
ize they must. have representation in
Western Canada, if they hoped to sell
their goods between Lakehead and

Miracle Drug
Available Soon
NEW YORK. — Canada’s -health
minister announced that a small sup-
ply of cortisone will be available af-
ter Jan, 1 to Canadian researchers.
Cortisone is the drug which promises
almost-miraculous relief to arthritic
sufferers,
Paul Martin said in a statement
that if further -experience justifies
wide use of the drug it is hoped it
may become available for general
distribution.
‘He said startling results have been
already’ obtained from the. small
quantities of cortisone now available,
adding however:
“Those whose hopes hate been
raised by stories about this magic
drug must remember that it is still
in the experimental stage and that
arthritic sufferers will probably re-
quire continuous treatment.

Canada western, but the average oil
content, of the new crop is below
last year, the research laboratory of
thé board of grain commissioners re-
ported, : .
This year the western Canadian
flax crop was slightly above 2,000,-
000 bushels, the laboratory’s report
said, noting that it, was the smallest
crop since 1939,
It described the results of its sam-
ple survey as follows:
‘Analysis of average samples rep-
resenting 717 carlots of flax inspect-
ed during the first three months of
the season gave a mean oil content:
of 40.3 per cent. and a mean ‘iodine
value of 186 units. Corresponding
‘| figures for the complete 1948-49 ‘crop
year are 41.1 per cent. and 185. units.
A survey of the oil content, iodine
value, and protein content of p54
samples of the first three grades of

ada her first major victory in the
hay and grain show, held in conjunc-
tion with the International Livestock
exposition. Canada also has scatter-
ed entries in the livestock classes but
grain is traditionally her strong
point,
Mrs. Kelsey, who grows her wheat
on an experimental plot on her ranch
jin the Kootenays’ is the only woman
who has ever won the coveted wheat
prize at the annual show in Chicago.
She also took the award in 1946. She
was not present to see her exhibit
take top honors.
The British Columbia avoman's
sample of reward hatd red spring
wheat, weighing. 66 pounds to the
wushel, won her a second “wonlatitie
within two weeks.' She was named
world wheat champion ‘Nov. 15 at
the Royal Winter Fair in Toronto.
Mrs, Kelsey needs to wih the crown
only one more time to obtain perma-
nent possession of the Union stock-
yard and Transit company. trophy,
which must be won three times to
be retained jby the exhibitor.
Pawlowski, exhibiting a Victory
variety sample weighing 48.2 pounds
a bushel, gave Canada the oats grand
championship for the 10th straight
United States growers have
won the prize only eight times since
1919,
The title. was won last year by |
John -'T. Eliuk of Hairy Hill, Alta.,
double - barrélled “oats and barley
champion of the 1949 Royal Winter
fair. Eliuk placed fifth in his class
here this year.
Since the’ hay - and grain show
started in 1919, only: three exhibitors,
all Canadians, have made a_ better
showing than .Mrs. Kelsey’ in the
wheat division. Herman: Trelle of
Wembley, Alta., won ‘the’ wheat
crown, five times. K. C, Mitchell of
Dahinda, Sask, and F. Lloyd: Rigby
of Wembley each has won it three
times.
Canadians have taken the world
wheat crown every year since 1919,
It. has gone to United States farmers
9| only four times,
* But the barley division is a differ-
ent story. The barley crown has
been awarded to Canadians only eight
times during ‘the 26 years of judg-
ing., The last Canadian to win the
title was George Gwyllt of Kelving-
ton, Sask.

Nursery In Northern Manitoba
WINNIPEG—vVast areas of North-
ern Manitoba have been turned into
a huge beaver nursery.
Compared with a closed season in
1942-43 when there was no profit
from the declining beaver population.
Manitoba last year netted $425,000.
A Northland variety of dogcatcher
and regulated trapping. keep the pelt
yield steady and eliminate “nuisance”
beavers.
For years the beaver was a prob-
lem for railwaymen, daming cul-
verts gnd causing floods on the lines.
Once a rail crew spent three suc+
cessive days cleaning out a culvert
only to find it plugged again by
morning. They finally had to shoot
the beaver. Six carloads of gravel
were needed for repairs.
In 1945 a “nuisance patrol” .was
formed to travel the railway on gaso-
line hand-cars and trap the pests.
In their first year, the two-man team
caught 152 beavers. This year the
objective is 250—an impressive: ‘figure
when it is realized three females pro-
duce about 300 descendants in five
years.
Beavers caught by the patrol are
not killed, but transplanted by air-
plane,. train, truck or dogsled to
areas where there are a few of the
animals.
The Manitoba government, having
seen the provincial beaver trade fall
to.a point where a ‘closed season”
sign ‘was needed, brought in the reg-

istered traplines: system in 1940. The
idea is to control the annual Kill so
that enough beavers are left to breed
a new crop.
A Manitoba game and _ fisheries
branch official said “transplanting”
animals; is an important part of the
contro} set-up.
“There was a closed season as far
as beavers were concerned in 1942-
48, because of the scarcity of the,
animal,” he said. “In 1947-48, how-
ever, 10,762 beavers were trapped
and their pelts sold.
“While Manitoba's figure is not
nearly as impressive as that of On-
tario "or Quebec—the latter has a
crop about four times as big—it is
fair for the province's, size in com-
parison with the other. two,”

gets about half his earnings from

OUR COMPLETE SHORT sToRy— 4
A Quiet But Pretty W
By M. J. COLLINS
H! Isn't he the darling!” Peggy,
my sister, exclaimed when she
really saw our two-and-a-half-year-
old son, Rick. He’d been under her
nose, so to speak, all the time,, but
there was an excuse for her, Peggy
would be married in a few minutes.
. Young Rick was wearing a white
satin suit and it was my express job
to see that he, kept it clean. Peggy
had thought it would be cute for
Rick to be the ring bearer and the
wife agreed with her right away, so
I kept’ my opinion to' myself. Well,
it would soon be. all over.
The bridal party were in the vesti-
bule. of the church waiting for the
wedding march to begin. .Mary, my
wife, was making a few last-minute
adjustments to Peggy’s wedding
dress,
“Now you know what you're sup-
posed to do, son?” TI asked sitting
down on my. heels. He nodded his
blonde head vigorously. “I’m to
carry the ring on the cushioh to the
front of the church, and em not. to
say a word.” He rattled the words
off quickly. ‘
“Oh, leave hirh alone!’ my _ wife
said impatiently, “or you'll have him
all rattled. He knows what to do.
We had enough rehearsals. to make
everything easy. “And,” she contin-
ued, finishing. with Peggy’s dress,
“you'd better -hurry to your.’ seat,
7 we're ready to start up the aisle.”
Slipping something unobtrusively. in-
to Ricky’s hand I did as: she suggest-
pounded him vigorously on the back.
Finally he managed to. gasp, “I swal-
lowed it!” I think everyone in the
church heard him, My wife gave a
frightened little cry and grabbing
him up in her™arms began to pound
harder,
“Where’s my wedding ring?”
Peggy asked, not seeming to under-
stand what had happened. The whole
family crowded up on the wedding
party. / :
“Hold him up by the heels’ and
shake him, it might come out,” some-
oné suggested;
* “Thump him @ little: harder.”
“I'm only trying to get married,”
Peggy wailed.
“He swallowed it,” my wife~ said,
“we'd better get him to a doctor im-
mediately.”
“Maybe he only choked on a hair,”
the best man said hopefully, “I al-
most did when I was a kid. Let’s
look on the floor for the ring.”
Every available man dropped to
his knees and began to scrutinize the,
floor minutely, ‘Here, use this!’* My
Wife pulled off her wedding ring and
pushed it into Bill’s hand. “Hurry;
Dan, and let’s get this young mdh to
the doctor’s:” Taking the now quiet

Rick out of her arms, we hurried out
of the church. “Rick’s ‘all right,
Daddy,” he insisted, biit I wasn’t too
sure of that, Behind us the. bridal
party remustered to get Peggy and
Bill married,
Our doctor’s office is at the other
end. of town, but since it’s only a
small place we reached it in-a few
minutes. Just as we weré getting
out of the car Rick took something
out of his pocket. .
“Oh, my gosh!” my wife exclaim-
ed loudly, “here’s the ring! He had
it in his pocket, all the time.” She
turned to him relieved, ~ but angry.
“You bad boy, telling fibs like that.
Scaring everyone half to death!”
“Hey, don’t.” I stopped her, “May-
be he did swallow something. What
did you do with the candy I gave
you in church?”
“I swallowed it, Daddy.”
“There it wasn’t the ring at all,”
I said almost triumphantly,
“Why,” my wife demanded, “did
you give him a candy? Of all the
hairbrained things .. .”.
‘I gave it to‘ him so he'd stay
quiet,” I explained lamely, “you
know what a perfect imp he can be
if he ever gets started.”
“Poor Peggy will never forgive us,
but why; I'd like to know, did he put
the ring in his pocket.’”-
“Daddy said the best plaice for a
ring was in a man’s pocket,”’. “Rick
nodded his head ; with
